Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Small and Medium sized businesses, particularly in the health care sector, although this will not be the only market we serve long-term. And more particularly, the owners of these businesses who usually serve as their marketing decision makers. These are entrepreneurial types, generally, with a fairly even mix of men and women. But most of them are experts in their field and we have found many of them to not be very computer savvy although they may be very technically savvy in their given field of expertise.

Requirements

We need a logo designed that has great impact and instant recognizeability. Maybe something a little bit cutesy, but still professional.

We will be using this logo on our web site, and all of our printed materials.

We will be templating the web site using something similar to this: http://www.urlengineering.com/cloud…mplate.jpg so that is the sort of look and feel we will be going for (the current logo on there is just a placeholder and you should not let that effect your design sensibilities).

We would probably like you to keep the color scheme fairly simple so that when we need to have it printed it doesn't cost us a fortune and we have an easy time even converting it to a single color of need be. But that will be an edge case for this logo.

File Format: We will need this is not only jpg format but also eps (most printers seem to always ask for that format) and a layered photoshop or png file would be great to include as well. most of the time this will be printed out fairly small but we may have some need to blow it up bigger in the future. Whatever format makes that possible is what we need it in.
